What has happened to the United States of America?

What has happened to the United States of America? I was born and raised in Tulare County. I have served my country and community. July 1965 to July 1967 I was drafted int the U.S. Army. From December 1967 to July 1999 I served in law enforcement.

Now (they whoever they are) are removing statues and monuments of historical events. As if this is going to change history, not likely. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Those monuments should be a reminder of our history and taking them down does not change anything.

Now (they whoever they are) are trying to defund the police. Should that occur, you will be dealing with protesters and looters. Be prepared to defend yourself because there will be no one to help you.

Adolph Hitler did this during World War II and looked how it worked out for him and the world. Now (they) want some movies and TV shows removed from the air. Political correctness destroying this country’s freedom.

Now (they) want us to be the land of the free, free money, free food, free rent and you do not have to learn the language or swear allegiance to this country. I suspect pretty soon they will be banning or burning certain books.

God help us, because our Congress has not. The pandemic is teaching us socialism works and the politicians are using it for their agenda. The socialist government wants to control your life just like it is now. How’s it working for you? I think it sucks!!!
